Bone Densitometry

As women and men age, they become susceptible to bone loss and ultimately osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a condition in which the bones become weak and can break more easily.

The best way to address this issue is with bone densitometry, a scan that measures bone density. The bone density scan along with identification of risk factors will allow your medical provider to determine your risk for osteoporosis and help guide you in prevention and treatment.

Bone densitometry and analysis are typically performed from a scan of the spine and hip and in some cases the forearm.
